Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Antibiotic Use and Resistance: A Cross-Sectional Study from Oman
This study revealed a moderate to high level of awareness about antibiotic use and resistance among participants. However, the high prevalence of reported treatment failure indicates a critical gap between awareness and practical outcomes. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions, including enhanced professional development programs and comprehensive public education campaigns.
